Stidham was a highly regarded draft prospect coming into the 2018 season, but a down year in which he completed 60.1 percent of his passes for 2,421 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions reportedly hurt his stock.

The redshirt junior's numbers went down across the board as he posted lower numbers in completion percentage, passing yards, touchdown passes, quarterback rating and rushing yards.

He was a highly recruited quarterback coming out of high school, but took a circuitous route to entering the NFL draft.

Stidham committed to Texas Tech out of Stephenville, Texas, as a high school junior, but decommitted and went to Baylor for his freshman year.

He then left Baylor and eventually transferred to Auburn where he took over as the team's quarterback as a redshirt sophomore and led the Tigers to the SEC championship game and a Sugar Bowl berth in 2017.
